night that the next chapter in this saga of trying to resolve the situation of the fiscal cliff. it is clear that our conference has been consistent in its commitment to doing something about the spending problem in washington and the mounting debt that has resulted. we stand ready to continue to dialogue with this president to actually faced the problem. i hope that you see that our colleagues on the other side of the capital can and do likewise and get serious to try to address the real problem of spending so we can get on to the business of growing this economy and getting people back to work. that of mr. speaker? >> a lot of remarks that you made in favor of the bill from last night would only

keep a fraction of tax payers from the tax increase and also the president's proposal. >> the president and i had plenty of conversations. i tell the president monday this is my bottom line. the president told meet his numbers of 1.3 trillion dollars in revenue and $850 million in spending cuts was his bottom line and that he could not go any further. we see a situation where because of the political divide in the country and the political divide in washington trying to bridge the differences has been difficult. if it were easy i guarantee you this with been done decades before. but we have to find a way to address this significant spending problem that we have and we need to find a way to improve tax reform to

grow our economy in a way that it will create more jobs in our country. >> are you going to be speaking with the president further? are you ruling out putting on the floor of though and the senate >> the original senate bill has come to that. we do not have a senate bill. we do have a house bill. it is extending tax rates for all americans. we have been waiting since august the first >> we heard frospeaker bear wasg to pass what he calls can be in the house of

like to introduce our executive vice president. that you for being with us. at the end of this conference will not be taking questions mud next week we will be available to answer any questions if you are available to talk about anything that interests you. >> good morning. the national rifle association, 4 million mothers and fathers sons and daughters joined the nation and our rage and grief and ernest prayer for the families of

new town connected. they have suffered a loss as a result of this unspeakable crime. out of respect for the families and until the facts are known the nra has refrained from comments. while some of you have tried to exploit the tragedy for political gain we have remained silent. now, we must speak. this is for the safety of our nation's children. because of all the noise and the anchor that has been directed towards us over the past few weeks no one and nobody has addressed the most important pressing

and the immediate questions that we face. how do we protect our children right now? starting today. we need to do this in a way that we know will work. the only way to answer this question is to face the truth. politicians have lost for gun free zones at schools. they have issued press releases and bragging about them. they post signs and advertising them and in doing so they tell every insane killer in america that schools are the safest place to inflict maximum a ham with minimum risk. however, our nation rewards have gone out of order.

think about it. we care about our money, so we protect our banks with armed guards. american airports, office buildings, power plants, courthouses, and even sports stadiums. these places or all protected by armed security. we care about our president so we protect him with armed secret service agents. members of congress work in offices that are surrounded by capitol police officers. yet when it comes to the children innocent and hon. members of the american families our children we as a society leave them

everyday defenseless. the monsters and the predators of the world know it and exploited. that must change now! the truesth is -special >>- >> the truth this our

society is populated by an unknown number of genuine monsters. if people that are so deranged and evil and they are possessed by. boys and demons that no person can comprehend what they're doing. a walk among us every single day. does anyone really believe that the next adam lanza is not planning his attack on our schools. he probably is already identified at this very moment. how many more copycats are waiting in the wings for their moment of

fame. from a national media that awards dealt with wall to wall attention. they give them a sense of identity that they crave. they provoke others to try to make their mark. a dozen more killers, how can we possibly give, how many are given our nation reason to create un act of national data bases of the mentally ill. the fact is this would not even address the much larger criminal class. killers, robbers, rapists, gang members who have spread like cancer and all of our communities. meanwhile,

while this is happening federal gun proc;s have increased. so now people decline to prosecute these criminals. by the crimes are still increasing for the first time in 19 years spirit had a another hurricane, terrorist attacks, or some other national man-made disaster and you have a recipe for a national nightmare. >> here is a another dirty truth. it the media tried their best to conceal this. they exist in this country sadly a calloused, a corrupt shadow of history that

sales and stows balance against his own people. it is so vicious and all these violent video games with names like bullets storm, grant of all, more or combat and splatter house. here is one it is called kindergarten killers. it has been online for 10 years and how come my research staff can find it and all of your spouse could not find it. you did not want anyone to know that you have found this. had a another hurricane, had a another national disaster. we have flood films out there like

american psycho, natural born killers, they are aired on splatter days and every single day. 8000 music videos and you all know this portray life as a joke. they played murders and they portray murder is a way of life. they all have the nerve to call it entertainment. is that what it really is? isn't fantasizing about killing people and a way to get your kicks really the still theus form of pornography. in a race to the bottom and many compete with one another to a shock, and violate every spare part of civilization. they bring even more toxic of reckless behavior and criminal

cruelty right into our homes every minute, every day, every hour and every single year. >> at checkout growing up in america today when is a 16,000 murders. 200,000 acts of violence by the time they reached that age of 18 years old. throughout all too many of the national media are corporate owners and their stockholders and debt at silence. there also co-conspirators. rather than face their own moral failings the media--

>> ratifies their all moral felonthey bill the media with miss information that all the delays many a full actions and guarantees. the media calls and semi automatic weapons-testing

stated that these are used by the military and they tell us that the 223 rifle is the most powerful. none of these things are untrue and they do not know what they're talking about worstt. there are 20 other dozens of laws that have failed. the teachers and the classrooms were prompt when they responded and they were unable to no fault of their own and able, to stop it. as parents we do everything

that we can to keep our children safe. it is now time for us to assume responsibility for our schools. the only way to stop a monster from killing our children is to be personally involved and invested in a plan for protection. though only thing that can stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun. >> would you rather have your 911 calls bring a good guy with a gun from a mile away or have it one a minute away. i can imagine the headlines and a shocking headlines the to print tomorrow. more guns will play are the end are as

answer to everything. your invitation will be that guns are evil and have no place in society. much less in our schools. since when did the gloves automatically become a bad word. a gun and hands of a secret service agent protecting our president isn't a bad word. a gun enhance of a soldier protecting the united states is not a bad word. and when you hear your glass breaking at 3:00 in the morning and you called 911 you'll will not be able to press hard enough for a gun in the hands of a good guy to get there fast enough to protect you. so why is the ideal of a gunned good when it's used

to protect the president of our country or our police but bad when it is used to protect our children at their schools. there are kids and their are responsibility. it is not just our duty to protect them it is our right to protect them. >> five years ago after the virginia tech tragedy when i said that we should put armed security at every school and the media call me crazy! what if, what f. if when adam lanza started shooting his way into sandy hooke elementary school last friday he was confronted by
